Strena Dog Days Part Four

 Obedient


They stayed in the cabin that night, though Strena was glad to have a roof over her head, she could not enjoy it as she was too busy reading her books. She then looked at the other books that the Dark Lady Marvé had. They had burnt her body outside, yet when she started reading, she did not stop, she did not want to. She wanted all the knowledge that the cabin held.

"Did you sleep that night?"

"No. I want to stay here for a little longer. By the way, I finished the books I got from that guy."

"You have? Good!" He said and then shrugged. "And as you have killed the Dark Lady Marvé, this cabin belongs to you now."

"You're going to burn it. Aren't you?"

"Yes."

"ThennI need to stay here. Do you have anywhere you need to be?"

"Not yet." He said.

So they stayed there for until Strena had finished all the books in the cabin, which was only a few days. They then packed more things and they climbed down the tree and soon set it alight. They then trekked for a long time before coming to a tavern.

"This isn't-"

"No."

"Then what-"

"The slayers guild will be our next stop. After all, it is your next step and as you were able to dispose of that teenage dragon I think that you are more ready than I thought. However, I would like for you to do a few things first."

She suddenly felt dread sink in. She knew that she did not like the sound of that. 

"What?" She snapped.

He smirked.

"You will know." He said as his mouth twisted to that smile that she did not like. Thos told her that he would most likely make her kill again.

He walked up to the door and knocked on the door. A man looked at him and his face became as white as a sheet of paper.

"Do not fear! I'm not here to kill you! I'm here to train someone." He said as hebplaced a hand on Strenas' back.

"No, please no!" He said as he shook his head. "I have a wife and children!"

"Not anymore, after all did you not sacrifice them for protection?" He purred.

His pleading eyes turned to anger. He then looked back at Strena. He soon rushed to her and gripped her by the back of her neck and put a blade to her throat. She knew that he would kill her after all if he was willing to kill his wife and children then she knew that he would kill her. Yet she knew better than to expect that Zaryb would protect her either.

"Th-then I will sacrifice her then!"

"No. As I said, I'm not here to kill you! I'm here to train someone. She is that someone. Use your magic and kill him!" 

She looked at him and let out a huff. She knew better than to expect that he would save her. She knew that right from the start. She closed her eyes and forced her mindset to become like that when she killed Marvé and directed her will into killing this man. She continued to do this until he was on the floor.

"Y-you do realise that I c-could have used my sword!" She panted as she felt herself become weak. 

"Yes, but I need you to be able to kill using magic and use magic at an instant."

"I already did!"

"Yes, but that was when you were angry or in a heightened level of danger." He said as he checked her neck. "Next you will be going to take another and learn to obey me willingly when I order you to kill."

She felt her lip curl as she nodded.

"It seems like I don't have a choice do I!?"

He let out a chuckle.

"I guess not!"

He walked on. They came to a large village that was near the sea and the houses were spaced out like dots. The sun was high as they came to another door. He knocked on the door which was answered by a woman. She felt uneasy about looking at her. There was nothing about her that screamed evil. She had a kind face and she was covered with a thick cotton lace dress that kept her warm. Yet when she looked at him she nodded and looked at him with a sad look. She looked back and closed the door.

"Girl, time for you to work your magic."

She looked at her shocked.

"No. Not her! She's just a child! Why do you wish to do that to her?"

Zaryb chuckled.

"She is not just a girl. She has not been for a long time. Also you know what I am so you should have expected something like this." He said with that smirk. "Now I order you now girl, do it!"

"Please! She's just a girl! She shouldn't have a drop on her!"

"But she does."

She felt her will rise up and she forced that will on her and killed her. This did not work at first. Sje then felt her will increase and she was soon on the ground. 

"Mummy!" Sang a boy.

She felt shock ripple throughout her as she realised what she had just done and what Zaryb had done to her. She could not believe it! He really was not only turning her into him but turning her into him exactly! She looked at him angrily and at this he smiled wider.

"Looks like you can no longer turn back now. So come. You better obey me after all you are just like me now!"

She felt her rage increase but she could not kill him.

"No I will not! I will be nothing like you!"

He laughed at that as they started to move away.

"No you won't. After all you have magic due to your conception, so you could become worse." He laughed.

She felt her rage build to a point where she rant to him and threw a punch at him. He effortlessly caught the punch. He then pulled her up. The next moment she felt a painful knock to the cobble. He dug his knee into her ribs before she could react. He punched her in the face and did it again and again until she could see her blood on his fist. He laughed all the way through and stopped and got to his feet.

"Have you learnt your lesson?"

She nodded with bloody drool flowing down the corner of her mouth.

"Now come. Next one."

She looked away as she tried not to cry. She tried to hide her pain as she silently followed him with part of her cheek barely able to be felt. They came to another door and saw another face. Her eyes slid to Zaryb. He nodded and she looked at the man. She willed the man to die and he fell down before he had the chance to say anything. He smiled a new smile that she had never seen before, a proud smile.

"Better! Now, let us have a look at that face of yours." He then led her to another door. "Don't worry, you don't have to kill this one!"

She nodded as another man opened the door.

"Spender, could you take a look at her face."

He looked down and, with a poker face, nodded. He then placed a hand on her shoulder. Soon the pain went away. Her face felt tingly and soon her face showed no sign of the beating.

"There, just like new."

"Thank you sir."

"Could you teach me how to do that one day?!"

"Sure!"

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Part Four

  The Purple Book They travelled down the cave in West Mountain for an entire day. Yet they did not leave until the following day. They left the cave to see a group of small houses. They were all small and in the style of King Garnet’s castle. “This is the abandoned town of Faiton. It’s here somewhere. So I think we will have to go in them to find it. You need not worry, there has not been a single person seen here in decades.” The other three nodded. “And what does this next artefact look like?” “It is a purple book. It is made from the same material as the crystal flower.” “Right. Then, let’s split up and explore every house.” Doormaze spoke, punching her fist. “And mark the door of the house that has been checked and leave the door open while it's being checked.” “Good thinking.” They all split and walked into the first house that was closest to them. They all started on the ground floor. Then the first floor and the second floor. Upon seeing nothing, they left the house. They p...

Scar Parents Fight Part Three

  Hunter’s Defence  Scar opened her eyes. She then walked down the stairs. She slowly took out her homework, just to take her mind off the day before she started doing it. She started with her maths to fode her mind to focus. She then moved onto literacy. After she had done both her mind felt sharp and clear of all of the upset. She looked up, it was half past seven. She then took a slice of bread. She then put it in the toaster and pulled out a tin of beans. Half of them had already been eaten the day feforeshe then put it in the bowl and then put it in the microwave for a minute. As she waited she picked up a newspaper. Three women arrested. They claimed to be witches yet none have any drugs in their system. They were arrested  for killing four children. When asked why they claimed  it was to obtain power. So they've been arrested. Good! She heard the beeping and soon put the beans on the plate then took the toast out and soon took out a fork. After ripping the toa...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Part Four

 Defending The Town  It was nearly an hour after sunrise when Loc saw the army on the far end of the tunnel. She looked back at Gina. She nodded and gave her a couple of coins with a dragon head on. “There’s a weapon’s shop at the edge.” Loc gave her the basket and ran to it. “Doyouhavammer!” “What?” “Do you have a hammer?” “Yes.” She gave him the coins. Yet then he looked at her eyes and his widened. “That’s enough for two.” He took them and took out two large hammers. She took them. She felt the weight and threw them in the air a few times. “Good weight!” “Hold on! You can hold them both?” “Yeah. Can’t the women of this world do the same?” “No. Not even some men can do that.” She raised her eyebrow, however she knew that she did not have time to appreciate what he had just said. She ran out as she knew that they were reaching the town. I need to take them away from the town. She thought as some passed her. She ran to the closest one. She jumped in the air and thrust her ham...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Part Fourteen

 The Rock Dragon  Loc and the other two arrived at where the rock dragon lay. It looked at them with glowing amber eyes and had the shape of a turtle that was large. It had a head the shape of a wolf and had a long tail with four rows of spikes shaping an X at the tip. It had a pair of wings tucked away, yet the body had become too large to fly. It may have been able to fly once upon a time, but not now. After years of being glutinous, it had grown too heavy for it’s body. Upon seeing them it charged at them, making it's body sway from side to side rapidly. They all moved out of the way. They ran to opposite corners. Then it turned around and looked at Shiro directly in the eye. Soon Loc ran and went to jump upon it’s back only to feel pain in her side. The next moment she slammed into the walls. Then a spike fell from the roof of the cave. Loc rolled out of the way and soon the itching flared up as she felt her bones being crushed. Yet then she saw another fall and another an...

The Nine Dragons The Dragon Of The Ground Final Part

 Sorrowful Rest Loc spent most of her time between sleep and rest in the underground library, as she tried to stop herself from crying. Looking at the whole place, Loc could not help but feel nostalgic for Billy’s Bookshop. She almost could not help but feel the expectation of the faen walking up to her asking her for what book she would like to buy and read this time. Yet this brought more tears as she had to remind herself that she was not in her world as she picked out the first book. She sat on a stone bench outside and looked at the book and opened it. In the year of three after the dragon  defeated the royals and has taken all our first born and killed them. Then another dragon of great beauty and  majesty carved out pits where she  regurgitated up a strange liquid that made up a series of pools. Then the  rock dragon did the same and put the dead firstborn in. Then they all grew  rock over their flesh and came out alive and as rock. Then, upon the or...

Doormaze Drage The Purple Artefacts Final Part

 The Piece  They looked at the piec. Doormaze walked up to it. She picked it up and took a closer look at it. She felt very tired as she looked at the other two. “Well, what are you waiting for?” She looked up at the castle as she let out a yawn. She then looked back at them. She could tell that both of them were tired. “What?” “We’re the only people here.” “And?” “We’re all tired and I don’t know when the next time we will be sleeping in a good and warm bed.” “So?” “I think that we should call it a night. Find a bed and take some time off tomorrow.” “Why?” “We all need it.” They looked at each other and they soon found a velvet royal purple bed. They flopped into them and went to sleep the moment that their heads hit the pillows. The following day Doormaze looked around the castle, wondering who lived in it and what they were like. She then walked into a library filled with dusty only books of all shades of purple. She looked at the spines with writing of silver and gold. Her...

She and the twins explained everything to them. Then a police officer, Detective Smith, walked in. “Well, Bea, Brit, what are youfoung here?” “Sorry dad, it’s just Scar was investigating that dead guy Bea saw get killed the other day.” “And ’cause she’s always in ’n’ out of hospital with terrible injuries.” “We were worried about her so we followed her.” He nodded with a stern frown. “But we didn’t know what we were getting into until we were caught! Promise!” “Well, your mum will be coming soon. She has been worried about you all afternoon. You know that she’s a busy woman and she gets worried when you don’t come home. Do you remember when you spent a whole day looking for that cat?” They looked down red and nodded. “Honestly, you’re lucky that Scar called ahead or I don’t know what would have happened!” That was when Br...
